  • Years of privacy violations going deeper and deeper under pretend of "progress" and "pRoTeCt the cHiLdReN". I am glad that people started rebelling against Flock, and some removed their Amazon cameras following the Superbowl's ads, but that's not even close to how much we should be mad at these mass surveillance actors.

  • Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.

  • Not sure the lemmy crowd is representative of the general public trends.

  • Peter Thiel and other tech billionaires are publicly shielding their children from the products that made them rich

    Jump

  • Oh I'm perfectly aware this is most likely a chain of pressure and responsibility dodging:

    • the top demands more users more active,
    • the bottom develops some solutions they demo while refusing any responsability for its impact.
    • Some middle pressed to meet demand while having only one solution available at the time eventually decide to deploy it, maybe "temporarily".

  • Oh they absolutely know. Zuck's Meta is on trial right now not only because Instagram creates an addiction for kids, but because it was made delibarately, on purpose. Kids addictron was the goal.

    They've always known. They just don't care for the rest of humanity.

  • Sam Altman would like remind you that humans use a lot of energy, too | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • He will probably claim to work a gazillion hours a week with an unrivaled efficiency, making him one of the most productive humans on Earth. Because these people are not just sociopaths, they're also completely delusional about their intelligence and true worth, out of money worth.

  • You think he would oppose a massive genocide of 99.9% of humanity if he could get an army of robots to sérve him in his new world?

    Think again!

  • Judge scolds Mark Zuckerberg's team for wearing Meta glasses to social media trial

    Jump

  • Pretty sure they won't care except if it ends with a multi-billions$ fine. The intent is that by the time, their "smart-glasses" are everywhere and banning them no longer seems reasonable.

    So they'll settle for "privacy settings by default", meaning they commit to not record anything except if the user expilicitly activate it, and it should be very visible for people around.

    They'll wait a good 6 months before an update introduces back a silent auto-record of some kind, because that company never gave a flying fuck about the law, its users or basic decency.

  • Let's just hope pissing off the judge on mïnute 1 may get them uncomfortable about the rest of the trial.

  • That, the coming war against VPN in other states and countries, ... Can't we cut through all these baby steps and get straight to a 1984's telscreen mandatory in all rooms?

    Oh come on! Think about all the domestic violence's victims!

  • Android will become a locked-down platform in 194 days

  • No. As long as the base remains opensource (AOSP), they can remove the bad parts. Graphene has made numerous contributions to AOSP, I'm confident they can manage that. And if the user base growths, I hope their fundings will follow.

    It would be a good thing for the world if AOSP was forked with big resources behind an open project with an open governance. But that needs lot of resources.

  • All four sections carry a penalty of imprisonment for not more than five years, although § 1001 is punishable by imprisonment for not more than eight years when the offense involves terrorism or one of several federal sex offenses. The same five-year maximum penalty attends the separate crime of conspiracy to commit any of the four substantive offenses.

    Even 1 year in jail should be a good enough incentive, if only he could not buy his way out.

  • Tesla Robotaxis Reportedly Crashing at a Rate That's 4x Higher Than Humans

  • Agree, but since he stated multiple time that all cars since xxx years were hardware capable of L5 self-driving next year (no need to precise the year, the statement is repeated every year), adding LIDAR now would be opening the way to a major class action. So he painted himself in a corner, and like all gigantic-ego idiots, he doubles down every time he's asked.

  • All U.S. Social Security numbers may need to be changed following a massive breach that is already being investigated as a national threat

  • In any other country, I would agree. In the US, you're guaranteed they will privatize the shit out of it until it's costly, inefficient, unreliable, but someone became a billionaire.

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene Drops Bombshell: Trump ‘Fought the Hardest’ to Bury Epstein Files, Warns MAGA It Was No Hoax

    Jump

  • That raises an interesting question: how many MAGA figures are not compromised by the Epstein files? How much support would they have left from oligarchs and foreign MAGA allies?

  • Marjorie Taylor Greene Drops Bombshell: Trump ‘Fought the Hardest’ to Bury Epstein Files, Warns MAGA It Was No Hoax

  • How many supporters does she have left? There must have been a big overlap with the MAGA-no-matter-what, and I would assume most were not pro-MTG first, pro-Trump second.

    It's good to see cracks in the MAGA figures ranks, but I doubt she still has as much influence as medias and social networks attention.

  • And you're absolutely certain they don't sell the data back to US brokers or even authorities directly?

  • BMW’s Newest “Innovation” is a Logo-Shaped Middle Finger to Right to Repair

  • The DMCA has a section that says (high level) it is illegal to circumvent a technological protection measure that protects copyrighted materials. DMCA was used for years to prevent farmers from repairing their John Deere's equipment themselves. They only got that 2 years ago after a legal battle. So the question is: can a fancy screw be considered a TPM?

  • That would be circumventing a protection mechanism. Isn't that a violation of the DMCA in the US?
